We’ve got the tickets to prove it
I have made a very long to-do list. Actually, I’ve made about ten very long to-do lists, all with the same things listed. I have a bad habit of writing to-do lists when I’m waiting in line, watching tv, or, you know, procrastinating. So, I have now written the same to-do list several times over. It always begins with the same bullet point: “Buy Tickets.” I’ve quit my job, I’ve started getting rid of furniture, but the trip didn’t seem real until today, when I crossed “Buy Tickets” off all of my many lists. Yes, it’s true; I am now the proud owner of several paper airline tickets that I am terrified I will lose.
We went through STA because after a bunch of research it seemed like our flights would be a lot cheaper to book through a travel agency than on our own. And STA can easily get us youth fares because we’re both under 26. So, we walked into STA’s very trendy San Francisco office and bought a ticket from Tulsa to Cancun in mid October, one from San Jose to Quito in mid January (with a stopover for a few days in Panama City), and one from Lima to Miami at the end of March. We figured that we’d wait to buy our ticket from Miami to Tulsa (where our car will be) until we knew that we didn’t want to change the date of our flight back to the States.
So, it’s official: I’m going on this trip. I’ve got the unemployment, the blog, and now the tickets to prove it.
